Through writing, teaching, tasting, training and judging to name but a few, he’s the go-to for any and all cider questions. Grant HutchisonGrant’s history of hitting things for employment has finally paid off. Previously the drummer for Scottish legends Frightened Rabbit, last year Grant started Re:stalk, a cider distribution company with a focus on the creativity, passion and skill cider makers bring to the category. He brings the world’s best ciders to the best pubs, bars and shops in the UK.

It’s Cidershit , Martyn Goodwin-Sharman. Previous Manager of Hackney pub The Cock Tavern and Clapton Craft N4, Martyn has been slinging fine cider for years and has been vocal along the way. Now working at The Good Measure in Bristol and blending ciders with Pilton, spending most of his time waiting for a blue sky in England to photograph 750ml bottles of madness.
After a long stint as a radio presenter and producer in California, Scott took a ride on the digital side where he developed a streaming radio service (Slacker), led podcasts at Pandora, executive produced a podcast with Quest Love and now finds himself focused on making things close to his heart, including a little podcast called The Neutral Cider Hotel. He has never had a taste for beer, but loves apples and cider and is learning more about the “top shelf” stuff every day. When not eating apples, drinking cider or making podcasts, he spends his free time with his chocolate lab, Jake.
Neutral Cider Hotel is the table at the pub having the most fun, with three hosts who love the drink putting the world to rights. With interviews, tastings, news, games and good conversation, the alcohol is the foundation of the good time the guys have every week, and whether they’re learning from people in the industry, or introducing those outside of it to cider, there’s always a good night at the hotel guaranteed. Also, the bell boy at the front desk will alert you every time there’s any shameless product placement!
